      I don't think it's a question of "can" professor. The Honda 70 market peaked I think, I have a couple and an SL70 that all need restoration. The Chinese junk satisfied the poorboy need for a 70, they cloned the things pretty effectively. Somewhere I may still have a CL90 and a CL70, those were pretty neat. I still have a 50 Suzuki Grasshopper at my dad's house. They've been using the same 50cc jug on tons of stuff for years. It shouldn't be too hard of a restore.

      Rupp, Bonanza and Sears were pretty common around my area. I had a Bonanza with a 4hp Clinton / Tecumseh. You could get them pretty cheap after somebody would move the timing box. Takes a dial gauge to get it set right after you move that thing.

      I'm going to have to build a lot of stuff for the Bonanza "chopper" model with sissy bar and raked out extended front end. I don't see many of those. It's probably worth more than the rest.

      Also in line for someday , a YSR50 and a DT50. These things have a cult following:
